I got an early start up the Canyon this morning to get out ahead of the heavy precipitation that was moving in rapidly. I made it up there just as the storm was unleashing in a big way. On the hill, a full 8 to 10″ of high density grauple covered the dance floor, with the high wind smoothing the surface to perfection. I made the first off trail lines on the season right of the top, and all the features were covered and a bottomless feel to the pack made it feel magical. With very light traffic to start the day, there was no pressure for the goods and I was able to lap back and get re filled goodness top to bottom once again.
Here is a shot of my good friend Mark who heads up The Summit on Hidden Peak. It is always such a treat to share the vibrations with him in the center of The Vortex. Tomorrow, look for additional accumulation, as the Lake Effect kicks in with the Northwesterly flow. With the dense coating of today, some light Essence will be a perfect addition. I expect traffic to be fairly light, but I will be there early just to get ahead of any push. See you there for the fresh lines. Wildman would GO!!
